Why Do People Still Hold Out Hope For DA?
-
I keep hearing about high risk high reward for DA. What reward did we get? 3TD passes in 7 games? Quinn played under the same circumstances and was not even as terrible. If you have to pick a terrible from the 2, Quinn is clearly the better option. Even with his dink and dunk, noodle armed approach he still had a higher YPA then rocket armed "high reward" Anderson. If that's the case, what does that say about how bad Anderson really is? Remember Anderson's numbers are trending downwards. He's not getting better folks. AS much as he stinks Quinn numbers this year are better than last years, and he still has less career starts than Mark Sanchez.

Quinn played under the same circumstances? Once again, Quinn started the season with players that he'd been practcing with all fall playing the same position they played in games one through three. Quinn started each of those games with a 0-0 tie, and playing in Mangini's system, he clearly played poorly. Anderson's first appearance he came in 20 points in the hole, and the coaches asked him to change the game to see if he could generate some movement, he clearly played poorly... but it wasn't anything like the circumstances Quinn played under.
In the Cincy game he came in under pretty much the same circumstances as Quinn had played under.. start at a 0-0 tie, run the offense, with guys playing the position they'd practice most of the fall... and the team obviously moved better, playing the division Champ to essentially a tie.
Next game... #1 receiver... gone... everyone shifts spots on 3 days of practice. ESPN and other outlets report that DA hits the receivers IN THE HANDS on 13 of 17 passes, with 2 of those being uncatchable, 2 are caught and the receivers are credited wtih 9 drops. Hardly the same circumstances Quinn played under.
Changes continue to be made on the offensive line and receiver for a few games then start to settle down. Anderson plays poorly during this period, manages a win in one game. Once the lineup stops shuffling, the team gets a bye week and Quinn is reinserted to give it another try. He'd been practicing with that lineup for a couple weeks, yet looks pretty darned crappy first game back.
At that point, the team starts to gel, both QBs get starts and look pretty crummy in the last 4 wins. That's about the only time in the season one can honestly say both QBs played under similar circumstances for a couple games each, and neither did all that well.
I'm not so sure DA is the guy for Mangini's offense, Quinn neither. DA's got potential in the right system because the threat of the big play from the QB exists. Quinn's biggest play the last half of the season was a single third down run for a first, not exactly a thing opposing defenses have to scheme for on a regular basis.

I love DA because he has such big..... feet.

LOL, I'm starting to think that's the reason for the infatuation with DA!
Big feet = Big meat....Is this true? DA lovers want to know!

My first thought was wtf is this guy talking about. Who in the hell holds hope for DA? Then I read a couple of posts where people backed him... Wtf, seriuosly? The only way you guys are still pimping him is to mess with others on here. No way do you actually think he's good. No F-ing way.
DA sucks as well as the "now I'm done guy." Get the hell over it and let's get a real QB. Bunch of douches.

Part of the problem with trying to evaluate the QBs is that the rest of the team has been so bad, the average fan can't tell where the fault lies for the poor performances. I'd venture to say that the rest of the team has been so bad that the coaches have been having a difficult time making the same judgement.

you further my point alendor....
DA, who played poorly with a 42 rating on the year, was beaten by quinn, who posted a 67 on the year.
i remember DA getting ripped in '07 because his rating was below 80....if a 67 is "solidly" beating 42, then i just found another opinion worth ignoring.
slightly better than absolutely terrible is still xxxxing terrible. but not in this case cause some people like the way his ass looks in tights.

I have no trouble seeing that DA sucks. He sucked bad this year, he sucked bad last year and even in 07 he sucked but put up some numbers thanks to the oline, Winslow, JJ and Edwards.
If you can't complete dump offs in the NFL, you probably suck.
He sucks.
Queen? Jury is still out but I'm leaning toward suck. DA is proven commodity suck.
Either way, I have a feeling we may see a big name QB in here next year like a McNabb.

Its not a gay thing so much as we currently have 2 guys to pick from. Both bad but one has the potential to make plays with his arm and the other has the potential to hand off effectively and charm the pants off of the love struck local sports writers. And until they bring in a consistently effective QB, these are our options. And if you ask me, neither one is all that handsome.

I'm not in love with either of them, I think they both suck. Both of them have been coached up for three years the improvement by now should be obvious.
DA sometimes makes intermediate throws that make you say "There are only a few QBs in this league who can make that throw". Then he will make plays that make you say "Only a few QBs in the NFL cannot complete that short pass". As least with DA I can see the physical potential for sucess but when brady throws the ball more than ten yards it is seldom pretty and would be worse with bad weather. Add in a couple of years where brady ended the season on IR and the answer to me is NONE OF THE ABOVE

its funny, your complain that someone is being extremely biased, when you yourself are doing exactly that, and putting words in people's mouth just to hear what you wanna hear.
i never said BQ wasn't terrible, i never said he was good. I went out of my way to say that he sucked. regardless of how bad he SUCKED, he solidy outperformed DA. he did better to an extent that you can't blame it on 1 or 2 games, or a certain situation. theres no gray area, BQ while SUCKING, still did better than DA.
now if you wanna close your eye, plug your ears and keep repeating to yourself "i'm not listening, i'm not listening," go right ahead, but facts are facts. BQ sucked hard, and was in his first year as a starter, and still outperformed DA. that is how bad DA sucks. If DA had started a few more games he would have qualified for being the WORST PASSER IN THE HISTORY OF THE NFL.

Doesn't matter if DA can "make plays" he's no more accurate than Quinn, he still can't read a defense, or throw a touch pass. BTW, DA can't throw an accurate swing pass 1\2 the time with zero pressure on him either- so drop the subject "we're keeping DA". At least Quinn has learned to throw the ball away if his guy is covered.
PS I checked out Manning, Brees, and Warner tonight- DA isn't even bench warmer material. Quinn might not be either, but he's better than DA.
